Multiplication

(album: Good Times - 1981)

When you see a gentleman bee
'Round the lady bee buzzing
Just count to ten, then count again
There's sure to be an even dozen

Multiplication, that's the name of the game
And each generation, they play the same

Now there was two butterflies, casting their eyes
Both going in the same direction
You'd never guess that one little yes
Could start a butterfly collection

Multiplication, that's the name of the game
And each generation, they play the same

Well let me tell you now
I say one and one is five
You can call me a silly goat
But you can take two minks, add two winks
Ah you got a real mink coat

When a girl gets coy, in front of a boy
After three or four dances
But you can just bet she'll play hard to get
To multiply her chances

Multiplication, that's the name of the game
And each generation, they play the same

Hear me talking now
Mother nature's a clever girl
She relies on habits
You take two hares home with no cares
Pretty soon you've got a room full of rabbits

Parakeets, in between tweets
Sometime get to quiet
But to have no fear, 'cause soon you'll hear
A parakeet's riot, just try it

Multiplication, that's the name of the game
And each generation, they play the same
Talk about multiplication, that's the name of the game
And each generation, they play the same
